"He Doesn't Have Any Other Job": Kris Srikkanth On Sanjay Manjrekar Questioning KL Rahul's Test Selection

Former India chief selector Kris Srikkanth came down heavily on commentator Sanajay Manjrekar after he questioned KL Rahul’s inclusion in Test squad for tour Down Under. Manjrekar made the remark at the back of some poor Test performances from KL Rahul during his previous appearances.

“You set a bad precedent when you recall a player for Tests on IPL performance. Especially if the player has been an abject failure in his last few Tests. Whether that player succeeds or fails is irrelevant, such selections massively demotivate Ranji players,” Sanjay Manjrekar tweeted.

What Sanjay Manjrekar is talking is all rubbish: Kris Srikkanth

“Leave Sanjay Manjrekar alone, he doesn’t have any other job,” Srikkanth said in his YouTube channel Cheeky Cheeka. “Questioning KL Rahul’s selection in Tests? He has played well in Tests. I won’t agree at all. Just because Sanjay wants to question something, I don’t think I’ll agree. You shouldn’t question something just to create a controversy. KL Rahul has done brilliantly in all formats. Go through his Test record.

“What Sanjay Manjrekar is talking is all rubbish. I’ll not agree.”

Rahul has been sensational form in the IPL. He has notched up over 500 runs in the IPL 2020 thus far from nine matches and continues to go strong. Though results have not worked in favour for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), his individual form has earned him plenty of praises
